Chapter 367 The Murderer Is Dead

"Criminal behavior..." Kazami Yuya finally reacted belatedly.

"Officer Lin, Mr. Jiang Gu, what do you mean..."

"The suspect may have been killed?"

"And that murderer is..."

Thinking of that poor Mrs. Yamazaki, Police Officer Kazami couldn't help but sink in his heart.

At the same time, he couldn't help but have some doubts:

"However, Mrs. Yamazaki said that she was in the store yesterday and did not come back."

"Although no one can give her an alibi, correspondingly, we can't prove that she was there at the time, right?"

"No." Police officer Jiang Gu shook his head: "Fujian, do you still remember the problem Mr. Lin first noticed when he first arrived at the scene?"

"That's what the witnesses saw. After committing the crime, the murderer escaped over the courtyard wall."

"And if only Mr. Yamazaki was at home at that time, after the murderer killed Mr. Yamazaki, there would be no one in the villa who could threaten him."

"This..." Kazami Yuya was slightly taken aback:

Indeed, if that was the case, the murderer could open the door and leave calmly after committing the crime, and there was no need to escape over the wall in such embarrassment.

But the murderer was so anxious and quickly escaped over the wall.

In other words, apart from the murderer and Mr. Yamazaki, there should be a third person in the room at that time.

And this third person made the murderer feel threatened, that's why he rushed to escape over the wall after the murder.

"Not only that, when I first came to the scene, I saw the murderer's footprints on the lawn."

Lin Xinyi followed Jiang Guling's words and said:

"Although the footprints on the grass can only be seen as a rough outline, even this can be easily distinguished:"

"Those footprints on the grass were left by the same person, one "in" and one "out" two footprints."

"The string of footprints 'in' starts from the cement road in front of the courtyard and extends to the sliding glass door on the side of the villa."

"This string of footprints is loosely moved, with short stride length, irregular left and right footprints, and an alibi footprint with a straight foot and a slanted foot."

"These can be proved:"

"The murderer sneaked in from the front of the courtyard door, went around to the side of the villa, and groped in through the sliding glass door that was opened on the side."

"In order to avoid being heard by the target in the house, the murderer crept in and stopped and walked when he sneaked in, leaving such irregular slow-footed footprints."

"This is the footprint of the murderer entering the scene before committing the crime."

As he spoke, Lin Xinyi paused slightly, emphasizing:

"However, after the murderer committed the crime, the set of footprints leaving the scene has completely different characteristics."

"He escaped directly through the glass door on the side of the villa, leaving only four footprints on the lawn in the courtyard, then went straight across the lawn, jumped onto the courtyard wall closest to him, and finally quickly climbed over the wall and left."

"And this scene is exactly the black shadow that witnesses saw at 1 o'clock in the morning."

"Combining the traces at the scene and the testimony of eyewitnesses, it can be seen that the murderer was running as hard as he could."

"When he ran away, he was so flustered that he didn't even dare to go through the door. He only dared to choose the shortest path—that is, go over the wall."

Lin Xinyi explained in detail, so that Fengjian Yu also understood what he wanted to express:

"The murderer was so flustered at the time because there were other people in the house besides the deceased."

"And that person... is most likely Mrs. Yamazaki."

"but…"

He suddenly felt something was wrong again:

"Why was the murderer so afraid of Mrs. Yamazaki, and even fled over the wall in such embarrassment?"

"Mr. Lin, you have also analyzed it before. Although the little gangster is physically weak, he has an impulsive personality and great courage."

"At that time, he had already killed Mr. Yamazaki in the fight. Why did he run away in fear after seeing Mrs. Yamazaki who was physically weaker than the dead?"

"This..." Lin Xinyi was about to answer when police officer Jianggu suddenly realized:

"Is it because of the gun?"

Jiang Gu Ling immediately understood Lin Xinyi's operation, and his tone was full of admiration:

"It's no wonder that Manager Lin quietly asked our public security personnel to pay attention to investigate whether the Yamazaki couple are legally qualified to hold guns."

"Ms. Yamazaki, as a woman who is physically weaker than Mr. Yamazaki, was able to scare the murderer like that, probably because she was holding a gun at the time."

"That's right." Lin Xinyi nodded approvingly:

"This is similar to the case I encountered last time in Mount Kumgang, Osaka, so the first thing I thought of was the gun, and then I asked someone to investigate whether the Yamazaki couple had legally owned the firearm."

"And according to my surmised reduction:"

"Ms. Yamazaki went home to rest after the izakaya closed at 0 o'clock."

"It was 1 o'clock in the morning when the incident happened. The deceased Yamazaki Ken was still staying up on the sofa watching TV, and Mrs. Yamazaki, who didn't come home from work until 0 o'clock, may have fallen asleep in the room."

"So when Mr. Yamazaki and the killer started fighting, she didn't show up in time to help."

"When Mrs. Yamazaki was awakened by the sound of fighting, she began to realize that something was wrong."

"So, she picked up the firearm hidden in the cabinet for self-defense immediately, tried to get out of the bedroom, came to the living room, wanted to check the situation in the living room, but bumped into the murderer who had just killed her husband."

"The murderer saw the gun in Mrs. Yamazaki's hand, so he was frightened out of his wits and dared not act recklessly."

"He was afraid that he would be shot to death by Mrs. Yamazaki, so he immediately escaped from the villa through the glass door from the living room, climbed over the courtyard wall closest to him, and fled."

"And after that..."

Lin Xinyi's tone became a little heavy:

"Ms. Yamazaki's choice was not to call the police for help, but to leave the villa and pursue with guns."

"Because she went after the murderer, and the murderer didn't come back all night, so..."

"I have to suspect that the murderer has been killed."

"Mr. Lin..." Police officer Fengjian listened, and came across something he didn't understand: "How did you know Mrs. Yamazaki was out chasing the murderer?"

"Because of the door."

"Officer Kazami, you said that the anti-theft door of the villa was open when the police arrived at the scene."

"But I have just analyzed that the traces at the scene show that the murderer entered and exited the scene through the sliding glass door on the side of the villa, and did not use the anti-theft door at the front of the villa at all."

"So... that door can only be opened by Mrs. Yamazaki when she went out to chase the murderer, and then she didn't close it."

Lin Xinyi's detailed analysis completely wiped out the last trace of luck in Officer Kazami's heart.

He had to admit that the truth might be so cruel.

Because she knew that calling the police would not get the murderer punished, Mrs. Yamazaki was also forced to become the murderer.

"Alas..." Lin Xinyi sighed deeply:

"Officer Kazami, let's look around."

"If Mrs. Yamazaki really killed the murderer with a gun, the nearby residents did not hear the shooting."

"That shows that the location where Mrs. Yamazaki caught up with the murderer, that is, the scene of the second case, is likely to be in a relatively secluded place like a park."

"I understand…"

Officer Kazami nodded, his expression even more disappointed:

"There is indeed a park nearby, a very quiet park."

..............................

After a moment.

Hayashi Shinichi, Furutani Rei and Kazami Yuya brought Mrs. Yamazaki to the park not far from her home.

The dense artificial forest in the park has been pulled up a long blockade at this moment.

Police found the body of a teenager in the woods.

The corpse was shot in the back and fell to the ground on its back, its eyes widened and its expression distorted in pain, making it look very hideous.

The blood stained half of his back, and then dripped down from his side, staining the ground under him red.

Lying in a pool of his own blood, he died of excessive bleeding.

This method of death is almost the same as that of Mr. Yamazaki.

Lin Xinyi was not in a hurry to bring the police officers from the Forensics Section in to investigate the scene, but first talked with Fugu and Kazami, avoiding the crowd, and brought Mrs. Yamazaki in.

Mrs. Yamazaki saw the boy's body.

There was a moment of silence, and the four people present fell into a dead air.

After being dazed for a long time, Mrs. Yamazaki asked coldly:

"What do you mean you brought me here?"

"..." Lin Xinyi pondered for a moment, then replied, "This young man should be the one who killed your husband."

"He still had a metal hammer hanging from his waist and a bloody kitchen knife in his hand."

"Plus there is blood splatter on the outside of the arm—"

"This blood will not be his own, because he was shot in the back, and the blood cannot be sprayed to this location."

"So, next, we only need to identify the hammer, the kitchen knife and the blood stained on the outside of his arm, and compare it with the DNA of your husband, Mr. Yamazaki, to confirm that the murderer is the dead boy."

In a serious tone, he announced the result of Yamazaki Ken's murder.

The murder weapon and the bloody clothes were found, and the identity of the murderer was confirmed.
